I'm a big fan of dd-wrt (2 of my 3 routers run dd-wrt) and I am also the
owner of a Buffalo router that hasn't been flashed to dd-wrt. For my
purposes, the stock firmware works perfectly well. The router is very
stable even when I throw some major bitorrent action at it. I don't
need a VPN solution so that part doesn't matter to me. I will probably
flash the Buffalo eventually, but as long as the stock firmware is doing
the job, I'll keep it.
